This book speaks directly to issues of equity and school
transformation, and shows how one indigenous minority teachers'
group engaged in a process of transforming schooling in their
community. Documented in one small locale far-removed from
mainstream America, the personal narratives by Yupik Eskimo
teachers address the very heart of school reform. The teachers'
struggles portray the first in a series of steps through which a
group of Yupik teachers and university colleagues began a slow
process of reconciling cultural differences and conflict between
the culture of the school and the culture of the community.
The story told in this book goes well beyond documenting individual
narratives, by providing examples and insights for others who are
involved in creating culturally responsive education that
fundamentally changes the role and relationship of teachers and
community to schooling.
